Magical Mayhem [Closed]

Once again out on his personal adventures of learning, Tysco had now surmised following his recent in depth research that there were several locations and mysterious relics across the world that would help him greatly in his current experiment to get the 6 Star Negative Dragon Ball to activate like it’s kin. This was what brought him to Bamboo Forest in the eastern regions of Earth. Unlike Fukurou Forest, the Bamboo Forest wasn’t bluntly known for any form of magic or mysticism. With the research Tysco had done, he theorised that there was a sort of twenty to one ratio of magic compared between the two locations with Fukurou being the obvious lead.

Tysco already knew a great deal about Fukurou Forest, he was not so arrogant or ignorant to assume he knew all of it’s secrets, for that was unbecoming of a scholar such as he, but the fact did remain— he knew a lot about it. This was a factor that drove him to once again leave the subconscious ‘comfort zone’ that was his rather frequent visits to Fukurou Forest. There would always be time for him to seek more knowledge among those trees, but he knew that right now it would not further his current goal.

So, having entered the boundaries of Bamboo Forest, Tysco first sought to check the few mystical locations he had been to in the past to get bearings of a sort— from there he could safely triangulate an estimate of where to go next by following any similarities within the ambient mana of both locations and any connections to the magical ley lines that existed all around the planet. First, Tysco made his way to the odd greenhouse, in the Garden of Beasts, a strange plot of land once owned by a looooong dead witch named Beri Blackthorn who had resided here centuries ago. He made sure to, as always, not be swayed by the ancient half-working spells placed around the area. Everything here was as he left it when he found Morticia and Russé here before when those two stumbled into the catacombs.

Satisfied with his cursory examination of the area, he made a mental note of where it was in relation to him as he flew off in search of the second location; a small shrine that Tysco had stumbled across following directions from the journal he had inherited. Shortly after his first visit, he ascertained the purpose of the shrine and gave it a new name— The Shrine of Wanderer’s Dreams— since the old name was lost to time. It was in similar condition as he left it, which was a relief. It seemed only the local fauna had been around here since.

With both of these two locations mapped out in his mind, Tysco began calculating where to go next as he extended his senses. Walking parallel to the closest mystic ley line he knew of, Tysco walked for about an hour, he could sense something... Strange somewhere up ahead, and he was nothing if not intrigued, so he picked up the pace, keeping his wits about him as he went. He slowed down once he got closer to the area of the ‘disturbance’ and looked around, things looked fine for the most part, but as Tysco was looking around, he was absentmindedly walking along the path, and he stood on a stick...

Or at least, it looked like one, because it definitely didn’t sound like one when he stood on it. It sounded like a chocolate coated wafer candy bar snapping in half. After a confused pause, Tysco stepped back and looked down at his feet— sure enough what he stood on looked like a stick, but it absolutely wasn’t one, at least not anymore! “What in the world..?” He mused, jogging over to a nearby tree to tap on the bark, only to accidentally smack a little dent into it. It was made of the same stuff as the stick he stood on! “...” Now this was a magical mystery and a half! Tysco could barely contain his excitement now! He knew for a fact that Bamboo Forest itself did not contain such magicks on its own, which meant this was likely the doing of an outside force; either a mage’s spell gone wrong, a haphazardly discarded relic— the possibilities were tantalizing! “Oh heck yeah I gotta get to the bottom of this!”

With renewed spring in his step, Tysco sprung off the ground and began to float onward along the path; and as he went further on, more and more bizarre alterations to the land became apparent. The path soon turned from normal dirt to crisp brownie topping and crumbled cookies, the grass around the trees now very much resembling gummis— the trees themselves were either chocolate coated wafer biscuits with waffles for leaves or crystalline like jolly ranchers with cotton candy leaves of blue or pink! Some bamboo shoots strung about the place looked more like candy canes and there were licorice vines here and there too! Now, despite his awe, Tysco was still well aware of his surroundings, and he sensed someone nearby; so he rounded the corner to see a Majin lad... Who didn’t look all too happy. “Oh! Uh, hi there? Is something wrong?” Tysco greeted the Majin with a wave. “You wouldn’t happen to know the cause of this... Admittedly quite marvellous magical mishap, would you?”
